Price to study English in Malta

How much does a language course in Malta cost?

What are the elements that compose the price of a language stay in Malta?

The price of a language stay in Malta will depend on several elements:

  • The duration of the stay
  • The period of the stay
  • The choice of English school
  • The format of the English course selected
  • The type of accommodation selected

Duration of stay

All schools in Malta charge per week. The longer a student commits to a stay, the lower the weekly price.

The pricing of the schools is tiered, with tiers specific to each school: 3 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 20 weeks, etc. It is essential to identify each school’s price change tiers in order to pay the best price.

The period of the language stay

The language schools in Malta apply low and high season pricing. The high season varies from school to school, but generally runs from early June to mid-September.

To get the best price for a language course in Malta, it is therefore preferable to go during the low season, i.e. between October and May, regardless of the school.

The Choice of English School

Each English school has its own price list, and prices can sometimes vary by as much as double between two schools.

Price is not automatically an indicator of quality, however, the best English schools tend to charge slightly higher prices than second-rate schools. tend to charge slightly higher prices than second-tier schools.

The selected English course format

The format of the English course and the number of hours taken have a direct impact on the price of a language course. Schools offer a wide variety of English courses: General English (GE20), Intensive English (GE30), Mini-Group Courses, Business English Courses, Exam Preparation Courses, Private Lessons, etc.

General English and Intensive English are the cheapest courses in Maltese schools and are also the most popular with students, with almost 90% of them opting for one of these two courses.

The type of accommodation selected

The schools all have accommodation available for their students, shared apartments (colocation) or residences. This is a simple and secure solution that allows you to stay in a student and multicultural environment during your entire language stay.

The prices of the accommodation offered by the schools vary, depending mainly on the standard of the accommodation, the number of students per room (single or shared) and the period.

Package deals (course + accommodation) are quite economical, however for students wishing to stay 6 months or more, it is sometimes more economical to choose accommodation outside the school.
